TIE COTTON Crop

After all the losses sustained by dis
hesrtenirg drouths, devastating floods
and the visitation OF the boil worm, the
outlook for the cotton crop CT Texas may
be considered fattering. If we are favored
with late frosis, large crop will be mar
keted and Texas will retain her prestige
as cotton producing state. There are
sections where the crop has been injured
ard where shipments Will be considerably
decreased over former years; there
sIe other sections where the output
will be larger AID, ii the number
q bales will rot exceed shat CT last year,
there will be at least an equal number
made. The season is il Its infancy and
yet the number of bales sold is very en-
couraging. taken as whole. Fort Worth,
according TO THE GAzETTE's report yes
terdGy morning, received nearly $50 bAles
on Friday, and other towns, doubtless,
can make as fair q showing. The
enormous expanse Of territory covered
by cotton farms in Texas render it diff
fcult TO intelligently estimate the general
yield with any degree OF accuracy.
The best that can be done is to approx

with as much ease as q child would break

His shoulders are immense. The ex-
preston of face, which is black, is BcowI.

Lamar has modified his order of yester-

railroad company in the following par
ticulars: AS to the lands selected by
this company, amounting to 1874, 59l
acres, and which selections were disap-
proved by the commissioner of the gen
eral land office July 8, 1887, this order of
restoration will not apply until q decis-
ION by the department thereon, inasmueh
as a question of the correctness of the
said commissioner report was pending
before n being considered by me prior
to the issuance of the present ORDER
Secretary Lamar is preparing q deei-
sion relating to the indemnity of the
withdrawal of the Northern Pacific rail.
road company. He reviews at some
length the company's construction Of the
law. He Will not concur in it's views,
He will hold that congress recognized
the political divisions of the states and
territories when 1t gave the company ten
alternate odd-numbered sections of land
on each side of the line OF the road when
1t passess through q state and . twenty
mile sections when it passes through a
territory. The lien land Is but q SUBJ
stitute for granted land and the same
boundary lines apply to one as TO the
other. The same distinction is preserved
in providing for an indemnity belt i.
The secretary will say that in his opinion
and according to the views herein ex-
pressed the indemnity CLAIM Of the COM
pany must be greatly reduced and it
will not require sll their vacant, off
numbered sections within the indemnity
limits, but that there would be lands to,
restore to the public domain. The Geo
Rotary will hold that this company. is
entitled to bnt one indemnity belt Of
ten miles in width, and that the grent
of July 80. 1870, repealed and modified
that of the first, 30 far as they conaicted,
and that both acts relate to the same
indemnity belt. These are the only
points not covered by the decision OF
yesterday on the Atlantic & Pacific case.

from that which has in the past made
